If you love to cook and love to entertain you'll love Fishs Eddys. While I didn't do a lot of shopping when I was in NYC last month (too much sightseeing!) I did manage to make it back to this meca for diner ware twice. I wish I could have brought more things home with me but I discovered they provide shipping services for purchases in the store and on the website so I know I can get my fix anytime. I imagine if I lived in New York I'd be a frequent visitor to this shop,,,like everytime I throw a dinner party! This store is a home cook's dream, its chock full of retro and classic style kitchen ware both new and vintage. While the store itself isn't huge the shelves are stacked to the ceiling and overflowing with wares. Quirky vintage finds, classic diner plates, american glassware and every kind of kitchen gadget you can imagine all displayed amongst a collectioin of vintage portraits hung on beadboard walls. On your next visit to New York don't miss a chance to visit Fishs Eddys, its right across the street from ABC Carpet & Home so this local is a destination point for any home decor enthusiast.

They had me at Diner Whites. Gasp.

Hotel Silverware...

Glove Moulds,,,,I bought a couple of very small white ones. Remember seeing similar ones in this House Beautiful shoot from January 2009.....

......colourful, quirky and unexpected!

She was my favorite of all the portraits and looked stunning beside this American glassware. I'm pretty sure they colour co-ordinated their displays to the portraits...

No space was left bare, portraits were everywhere....

another beauty,,,,and see how great she looks with the gold and green dishes in the background...

I'd never seen such a large collection of everyday glassware...

I was crazy for these Italian wine glasses sold in sets of 6,,,,,,I was so sad to leave these behind.
